Your Guide to Going Live: Solutions for Virtual & Hybrid Events
COVID-19 has caused our industry to pivot – to make sensible event decisions to postpone, go virtual or cancel, to reconsider content and session formats to ensure a compelling attendee experience, and to offer corporate partners new ways to connect with audiences. In this new world, it’s not about surviving – it’s about thriving! This two-hour dynamic workshop (plus a virtual happy hour!!) will inform, inspire and engage you in the latest trends with online events, best practices, and new ideas for revenue generation and partnerships.
